The benefits of exhibiting at the 2012 Winter Expo are many and include marketing and advertising opportunities in all mediums, as well as the opportunity to meet hundreds of potential customers face-to-face so they may experience your product or service firsthand. Exhibitors will also be able to answer questions, overcome objections and close the sale on the spot. This event is geared to highlight all of the activities, gear and services available in North Lake Tahoe for the winter season.
